"Beware the Raven that stands alone, the one that watches and waits, |
|
Beware that unguarded moment, that subtle twist of fate. |
|
It may just be the eyes of the Crow man". |
|
You see a group of dancers in the street |
|
Dressed up to look like chimney sweeps. |
|
But under the feathered hats and ragged clothes |
|
There hides the Crow man. |
|
Faces blackened out so you cant see |
|
The colour of the soul that lies beneath. |
|
Behind the painted masks that hides their faces. |
|
There hides the Crow man. |
|
People gather round to cheer them on |
|
And laughing joins in the dancing throng. |
|
Unaware of the dark side behind it |
|
They don't know what's really going on. |
|
It's part of a ritual from the past |
|
The dance of the Crow Man |
|
Down through the ages down through the years |
|
At springtime the crow man will always appear. |
|
To feed the earth with the blood of the chosen |
|
To ensure life's circle for the following season! |
|
To replenish the earth by the taking of life |
|
In the Crow mans ritual blood sacrifice! |
|
In the crowd he'll see a person all alone |
|
And point with an ancient Runic stone. |
|
The spell is cast and only death awaits them |
|
No one to miss them when they're gone |
|
With no family to mourn or to care |
|
They're now part of the Crow man. |
